The Sacramento Kindness Campaign, Inc. is partnering with the Society of St. Vincent de Paul for food distribution here in Oak Park on Saturdays: "Small-scale food distribution for those residing in 95817, 95820, and 9581. Saturdays from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM at 3263 1st Avenue, Sacramento, CA 95817.... In front of the Immaculate Conception church pastoral center at Broadway and 33rd Street. No contact pickup; please wear a face mask and keep social distance."

Today is the third anniversary of the Oak Park Fix-it Cafe! We held our very first public gathering at the Sunday Street event that closed down Broadway and 2nd Ave for a Sunday morning. Since that time, our team of volunteers has made the Fix-it Cafe happen every single month until March of this year when we were closed due to COVID-19.... We want to take a moment to celebrate this milestone and to look forward to meeting again when we are able! As a reminder, if you need something fixed during the shut-down, let us know in the comments below and we will see if anyone is available to help from home.
